deprecate PHYSDEV* keys

deprecate PHYSDEV* values in the uevent environment

These values are no longer needed and inconsistent with the
stacking of class devices. The event environment should not
carry properties of a parent device. The key PHYSDEVDRIVER is
available as DRIVER, PHYDEVBUS is indentical SUBSYSTEM. Class
devices should not carry any of these values.

What: PHYSDEVPATH, PHYSDEVBUS, PHYSDEVDRIVER in the uevent environment

Why: The stacking of class devices makes these values misleading and
inconsistent.
Class devices should not carry any of these properties, and bus
devices have SUBSYTEM and DRIVER as a replacement.
